Great story about the lion! Literally LOL. Thanks for all the decades of entertainment you have given us Barbara Eden. I sometimes wonder if performers like her know what a service they do for so many people they never meet. If you get someone to laugh or forget their troubles for a little while, you have done a great thing.
There are many great things about her but the icing on the cake is she's not an uptight conceited,way too coo for school,bitter, "a victim" Tv star, she's grounded & fun ! She handles the nut job fans pretty well,what a tall order that would be,bless her.& more stars should be like her !
@goldenchick85 Most fans liked it. However, the show was already set to be canceled after the fourth year but Barbara and Larry agreed to do one more year. Therefore, the concept that the marriage killed the show really didn't matter at all since the network had already decided the series would be done after the fifth year.
She sure has. Just fantastic! I don't know why but whenever I have ever heard "The Girl From Ipanema", an image of Barbara Eden comes to mind. Still does.
Supposedly Jeanne was a network rip off of Bewitched like the Monkees were cashing in on the Beatles mop tops. But to a kid watching Jeanne in reruns in the early 70's after school it was tops. I never realized that all the shows I watched in the 70's were all 60's reruns but it didn't matter to me or my generation.
I would have been upset if Jeannie and Tony didnt marry at some point. My Favourite season is season 5, because everyone gets to meet jeannie, and you get to see jeannie more
The scene with the lion was at the end of a first season episode, "The Americanization of Jeannie", filmed in April 1965 (when telling the story, she sometimes mentions the lion "sitting on my very pregnant lap"), and telecast on November 6, 1965.
The lion appears in "The Americanization of Jeannie", Season 1, Episode 8. Unfortunately, "Sim" the Lion only gets about 10 seconds of screen time at the very end of the episode. I'd love the see the outtakes.
I also believe that the charaters should have remained single, after all Jeannie is going to live on forever after Tony Nelson is dead and gone, but at the same time, the Marriage did make the show interesting.
Interesting in the fact that all people have problems with the preparation of weddings to begin with and theirs was even more so becuase Jeannie had a different type of blood than regular humans, red and green corpusles.

I love Barbara Eden, she's a neat lady.
There are many great things about her but the icing on the cake is she's not an uptight conceited,way too coo for school,bitter, "a victim" Tv star, she's grounded & fun ! She handles the nut job fans pretty well,what a tall order that would be,bless her.& more stars should be like her !
What a genuine classy lady. "I dream of jeannie" Thanks for the memories,your the best.
"I enjoyed the wedding episode - I enjoyed playing a robot"
And that right there will keep a smile on my face for weeks.
I love you Barbara, and have been in love with you since 1966. You were brilliant in "I Dream of Jeannie". RIP Larry Hagman.
I met Barbara about a month before this was recorded in 2000.
""I DREAM OF JEANNIE""ill never forget it was one of my favorite tv series when i was a little kid back then,nothing like good all acting back then.
She's so charming
the episode she was referring to is from season 1, THE AMERICANIZATION OF JEANNIE. The lion's name was Sim.
She's still got it.
This story about the lion on the set, is just so funny. We can imagine why the lion only liked Barbara, haha.

I think that was one of the highlights of the series!

I agree!!! Classic beauty.
the lions name was Sim. I remember the episode like it was yesterday. Larry looked as if he was going to shit when he realized it was a lion.
The scene with the lion was at the end of a first season episode, "The Americanization of Jeannie", filmed in April 1965 (when telling the story, she sometimes mentions the lion "sitting on my very pregnant lap"), and telecast on November 6, 1965.
No I liked it too. I liked the show more when they were married.
Am I the only person that liked it when they got married? lol
shez stunning..my childhood crush

The lion appears in "The Americanization of Jeannie", Season 1, Episode 8. Unfortunately, "Sim" the Lion only gets about 10 seconds of screen time at the very end of the episode. I'd love the see the outtakes.
The Lion knew that Larry was gonna play a villainous role in Dallas as Jr ewing,jk lol
They call that 'Jumping the shark'!
JEANNIE !!!!!
I also believe that the charaters should have remained single, after all Jeannie is going to live on forever after Tony Nelson is dead and gone, but at the same time, the Marriage did make the show interesting.
@emercovich Yes, she was very nice to me and I to her.
Interesting in the fact that all people have problems with the preparation of weddings to begin with and theirs was even more so becuase Jeannie had a different type of blood than regular humans, red and green corpusles.
